Who knows what day of lockdown it is...
I have no idea, that's for sure. I decided fairly early on that boring myself rigid writing a tiny post every day was not going to work so I am going to stick to updating periodically unless there is something really significant to report.
It hasn't been a great week but it hasn't been hideous. Largely it wasn't great because I am still not sleeping at all well which I assume has been brought on by inactivity and stress. And eating junk rather than proper food.
I am finding working from home quite nice and I think that if I had a proper desk and a comfy office chair, I would actually find it a great deal more pleasant. I am very fortunate to have a spare room from which to work and no children to worry about.
Things have settled down in the neighbourhood and there has been a lot less coming and going up and down the street in the past few days. I suppose the novelty of going for the daily consitutional has worn off already and people are perhaps a little more resigned to the necessity of staying at home to stay safe... or so you would think... except that apparently, 3000 people in London thought they would take advantage of the sun and go and sunbathe in a park despite this sort of thing being banned by some draconian public health act which has been enacted within the last week to keep us all from suffering the plague.
I fully respect anyone's rights to put themselves at risk but I can't get over the selfishness of people who would knowing the facts about this virus, put other people such as police officers at risk because they have to be called to break up the party. It's rude, inconsiderate, selfish, egocentric and generally reprehensible behaviour. The virus can be spead before a person is symptomatic; it can also live on hard surfaces and clothing for several hours so you really are being completely stupid by not adhering to the current lockdown guidelines but more than that, you are being cavalier with other people's lives. This isn't the Britain I signed up for...
